  13. Now add the pegs to the tent: Cut a piece of crochet thread, twist it around the peg and secure it with a knot. Glue the one end of the thread to the tent and allow to dry. Pull the thread tight and glue the peg to the card. Cut off any loose pieces of thread to make it neat. Add the other two pegs in the same way.
